[IPython-dev] available modifier keys. Broken Shift-Ins paste.

Yes, actually, one that works for me is 'return false':

else if (event.which === key.SHIFT) {
   // ignore shift keydown
   return false;
}

I was trying out 'commenting out' version after I've found that return
false worked. And working version was still in the  browser cache.
Regarding "ctrl+m-shift+<key>" - I don't use it. So, I don't know, if
returning false breaks it or not.
